Waterstones

Bopped into Waterstones bookshop today to have a quickie look at the books. Had a lovely surprise when I bumped into Richard M who I did a University course with a few years ago, lovely to see him and to hear that he is now manager of this store. Also good to catch up with his personnal news, appears we have been in close proximity on more that one occasion but have not met up, sometimes it is a small world!
Took Ruaridh to the woods met up with Ziggy and Jock so The Wonder Dog had a great play with them both. Back home got the dinner ready for tonight pasta al forno. Had lunch then took Ruaridh to the park and around the block before going to meet Miss B.
Met up with Bella she is a wee star, into the buggy got the crackers and juice organised then off we go to meet her mummy. Bella just loved to see the Christmas lights on the trees and buildings, lovely to see the sparkle from them in her eyes. Met up with Layla, saw some of her colleagues wished them all the best, then armed with Layla's gifts and bags a go go set off to get the bus.
Didn't have to wait long, Bampa was at home Ruaridh as is usual delighted to see us all. Bella played with her clay from little school, I made the pasta al forno, salad and homemade bread which we ate once Joe arrived, tasted lovely.
Family stayed for a wee while then away home. Did bits and bobs then to bed. Goodnight.
